<p>By default libtiff expects that a pre-built zlib and jpeg
library are provided by the user. If this is not the case, then you
may edit libtiff\tiffconf.h using a text editor (e.g. notepad) and
comment out the entries for JPEG_SUPPORT, PIXARLOG_SUPPORT, and
ZIP_SUPPORT. Ignore the comment at the top of the file which says
that it has no influence on the build, because the statement is not
true for Windows. However, by taking this approach, libtiff will
not be able to open some TIFF files.</p>
<p>By default the nmake-based libtiff build does not depend on any
additional libraries. Normally libtiff should be built with at least
JPEG and ZIP support so that it can open JPEG and ZIP-compressed TIFF
files. In order to add additional libraries (e.g. libjpeg, zlib,
jbigkit), build those libraries according to their own particular
build instructions, and then edit 'nmake.opt' (using a capable
plain-text editor) to enable use of the libraries, including
specifying where the libraries are installed. It is also necessary to
edit libtiff/tiffconf.vc.h to enable the related configuration defines
(<em>JPEG_SUPPORT</em>, <em>OJPEG_SUPPORT</em>, <em>PIXARLOG_SUPPORT</em>,
<em>ZIP_SUPPORT</em>), or to disable features which are normally
included by default. Ignore the comment at the top of the
libtiff/tiffconf.vc.h file which says that it has no influence on the
build, because the statement is not true for Windows. Please note that
the nmake build copies tiffconf.vc.h to tiffconf.h, and copies
tif_config.vc.h to tif_config.h, overwriting any files which may be
present. Likewise, the 'nmake clean' step removes those files.</p>
